To Anyone Who Sympathizes With Robert Hawkins and Others Like Him?

Question by Joseph R: To anyone who sympathizes with Robert Hawkins and others like him?
Enough of this limp-wristed, over sensitive garbage. I am sick of hearing about these weak minded, undisciplined, little outcasts who have to ruin other peoples’ lives just because “nobody was nice to them in school”, or “I had it hard growing up”. SO WHAT!!! Everybody has it tough sometimes. People get picked on. It’s what happens. I personally know people who were flat out abused by classmates and family and are now successful, ordinary people. A real man or woman has the stones to take it and move on. And for you all-black wearing, black nailpolish, hair covering one eye, little freaks out there who have it tough and can’t relate to anyone or anything, do us all a favor and off yourself instead of real people who deal with life’s issues like the rest of us. And for anyone about to criticize me: WHAAAAA!!! Save it. You won’t convince me otherwise. NOTHING justifies murdering innocent people. NOTHING.
